Baba Studio Prague

I've appreciated their work for a while, but I especially appreciate that they're starting to slowly phase in some Pre-Raphaelite artists as well as their standard Golden Age fairy tale illustrators and Mucha.

Thanks so much for the mention. I really appreciate it, it's brilliant of you.

Amanda, I'm glad to have seen your lovely shop, which I hadn't come across before. We've in fact been making printed bags for two years now - and began the Pre-Raphs because of this thread many months ago where they were repeatedly requested:http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=95870

It just takes us time though to find good enough images that are not in copyright and then to restore them and recolour so that they print true and vividly on fabric.

But, I think our technique and yours are quite different in any case - which is all to the good. Viva la difference and you can't have too many pre-Raph bags I say :)

My pleasure! My friend, Jen Parrish, recently posted on LiveJournal simply bursting about how much she loves her bag she got from your store. I resolve that one day I will have one of my own as well (smile)

I think what strikes me the most about your bags is the wonderful balance you strike...the quality is very very high, and the images are definitely the focal point :)

The Beautiful Necessity

This blog is devoted to all things Pre-Raphaelite and Arts & Crafts. The two movements began during the Victorian era, and celebrated a return to the aesthetics and simplicity of medieval times, as well as the romance of nature and chivalry.

The central tenets of the two movements are still very important today, perhaps even more so.
